- The "S" version will work fine with the RS/6000 -- plug it in and go.
-
- In fact, the "S" version will identify as an IBM drive (:-), 670MB size.
-
- The SH, however, will NOT. Don't try it. :-)
-
- The SH series will, however, work as a "other SCSI disk".
-
- I have a few of these running here, and highly recommend them -- they're
- lots cheaper than the IBM equivalents.
